In this paper, we propose a novel approach called Convolutional Spatial Attention (CSA) model which can better handle the MRC with multiple-choice questions. The proposed model could fully extract the mutual information among the passage, question, and the candidates, to form the enriched representations. Furthermore, to merge various attention results, we propose to use convolutional operation to dynamically summarize the attention values within the different size of regions. Experimental results show that the proposed model could give substantial improvements over various state-of- the-art systems on both RACE and SemEval-2018 Task11 datasets.</p>}, number={01}, journal={Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence}, author={Chen, Zhipeng and Cui, Yiming and Ma, Wentao and Wang, Shijin and Hu, Guoping}, year={2019}, month={Jul.}, pages={6276-6283} }
